Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 players are ‘sitting ducks’ to flying AI bots, wielding high-powered weapons in the DMZ mode.

“I have seen them in groups up in the air. A flock of AQ,” said Call of Duty gamer on the sub-reddit.

“Had an RPG one under the map the other day. Couldn’t shoot him but, the splash damage from the RPG just about f****d me a couple of times whilst i was trying to figure out what was going on,” said one user. The full sub-Reddit can be seen right here.

The good news is that Modern Warfare 2 is patched quite regularly, so when Season 2 comes along – which was confirmed to be coming on February 14, we could well see this bug patched. In the meantime, though, it is certainly causing a few issues.
